Bursts of showery rain here and there
A scattering of showers through the day; locally heavy in the afternoon with small risk thunder. However, some hills will miss most of these and stay mostly dry.
Often clear, occasionally capping tops.
Banks of cloud some higher slopes around dawn, will lift to or above tops through morning. Then hills mostly clear, but in and around showers may cap tops again.

Occasional sun, but some cloudy periods too. Visibility very good or excellent.
4C lifting to 7C

Fairly chilly pattern early next week, but mostly fine with hills often clear as a ridge of high pressure dominates. However from midweek onwards, whilst turning warmer, it will become more changeable with the risk of pulses of showery rain from time to time as pressure gradually lowers from the west. However, there will still be some dry and fine periods; these conditions perhaps predominating still across eastern areas where broadly any rainfall amounts will be small.
